One of India s top designers, JJ Valaya, unveiled
his Indo-Russia inspired autumn-winter line
on Wednesday at the Amazon India Fashion
Week.
The Bolshoi Bazaar collection was an amalga-
mation of Indian and Russian culture and sen-
sibilities.
"This year s collection traverses the large extent
of Russian boundaries and finds inspiration from
various regions and disciples, including the jewels
of the czars, ikats of the nomadic Russia, the
Onion domes of Moscow, Russian Kerchiefs and
pre-rebellion architecture," Valaya told reporters
after the show.
The collection which saw models walk the ramp
dressed in silhouettes like capes, sarees, dresses,
skirts, jackets and anarkalis teamed with churidaars
was modern yet distinctly Indian.
Fabrics like crepes, volis, georgettes were used
in the garments along with techniques ranging
from digital printing, applique and typical Valaya
embroideries to create a perfect blend of the past
and contemporary style. (AP)
